A good review in HBL, the biggest Swedish paper in Finland.

När jag recenserade Lamberts senaste album Trespassing förra våren skrev jag att han hade en bit kvar till de stora arenorna. Efter kvällens konsert är jag beredd att äta upp de orden. Bokstav för bokstav.
When I wrote the review of Lambert's album Trespassing in last spring, I said that he still has a long way to big arenas. After the evening's concert I was ready to eat my words. Letter by letter.

Rockstjärna ligger nära till hands som beskrivning av Lambert som liveartist. Glammigare och mer ödmjuk än de flesta. Vilket är ett stort plus.
Rockstar is a suitable description of Lambert as an live act/artist. More glamorous and more humble than most of the artists. Which is a big plus.

A full translation of the HBL article.

NOTE..photo is from Moscow's gig ...

Lambert melted the Hartwall Arena
Rockstar is a suitable description of Lambert as an live act/artist.

It has been over two years when Adam Lambert visited Finland last time. At that time the concert was at the Cable Factory. On Friday he performed at almost full packed Hartwall Arena. That tells a lot how big he has become since last visit. And how popular/loved he is in Finland.

When I wrote the review of Lambert's album Trespassing in last spring, I said that he still has a long way to big arenas. After the evening's concert I was ready to eat my words. Letter by letter.

I already knew that Lambert is a wonderful singer. His strong high notes has become his signature. But he is as big/good as an entertainer. It's so obvious that it feels ridiculous to note it.

He is self confident and relaxed while talking to the audience about being left alone/exclusion, vulnerability and that nothing is hopeless. Abruptly shifting between topics successfully without making it sound a cliche.

Even the song material sound better/raises a few steps when performed 'em live. I find myself wondering if Lambert has only produced hits during his career. Sometimes it feels like it when his own songs outshines the cover songs he performs. Who would have f.ex. thought that Lambert will make his own version of Hot Stuff. But probably the biggest surprise is that Hot Stuff is the cover song that sounds the best.

The evening's only doubt/low point is the couple of misplaced reggae songs in the middle of the concert. Otherwise Lambert shines with hits like IIHY, NCOE and Fever creating deafening joy in the audience. Murmur/sound that even tops Lambert's interpretation of BE for Finnish boyfriend Sauli. Just that kind of thing.

Rockstar is a suitable description of Lambert as an live act/artist. More glamorous and more humble than most of the artists. Which is a big plus.

Ok, I'll try to tell you something about the concert from my point of view allthough I'm still floating on fluffy pink clouds of feeling goooodd :haha: You're free to scroll by to more sane posts (not !).
Musically, I don't need to tell you much because there are tons of videos around. I was so in the moment that I couldn't even tell you the setlist, but I sang along the whole time, except the start of OOL where I just swalloved my tears for a bit :">
I got to my seat 5 minutes before Jannika B. started and had a great time watching the arena filling up for Adam. I felt ridiculously proud of us Finnberts ! The diversity of our tribe is wonderfull: on my left were two hyper teen girls, in front of me an elderly couple, to my right a 10-year old boy with his mother. After Jannika left, the crowd on the floor would scream now and then - either there were mice running around or they saw something backstage, that was entertaining :haha:
When Adam took the stage there could have been elephants running around and I still would have seen only him - my focus zoomed on him totally ! An extraordinary talent and a funny, humble guy. I hope he felt the love we gave him <3 <3
Crap, I'm tearing up writing this :haha: And here comes TMI: Adam managed to kick my lazy menopausal hormones back in gear which is why I'm sitting here writing this crying and bleeding - so fess up, skanks, how many of you have gotten pregnant after Adam's concert !?! :roll: :roll: :roll:

...hi. Bertlandia is still alive (barely).

What can I even say about it? Despite of stressing over tickets etc. everything was as perfect it ever could be. Everything was like WHOA. It almost felt like a 3D experience or something, probably the best Adam I have ever seen (and I got to see him live in Cologne and Amsterdam on last tour, and with Queen in London so that's a lot to say). I barely could believe I found myself in 2nd row center, so close omg and the stage was huuuuuuge compared to those tiny club stages during GNT. It's really hard to describe... it was like falling down the rabbit hole and see all the colors in the world swirling around you.

He was just so happy and in good mood, it really looked like he enjoyed being on the stage so much. We died of laughing when he rolled with the chair once... then second time, then third, then he couldn't stop :haha: and I swear it was the funniest Music Again ever. He just couldn't stop cracking up and so couldn't the band or dancers. It was HILARIOUS. It kinda represented the whole night - fun, everyone having good time no matter if they were on the stage or in audience.

I didn't even know someone could have an emotional speech about being different and then make everyone laugh in the next sentence ("f*cking bullies!").

FEVER. It was one of my least favorite songs on FYE, then I liked it a bit on GNT. But on Friday... it got daaaamn hot in there! I almost felt like watching a private show at a sex club or something... much appreciated.

Kickin' In was another surprise to me. I LOVED IT. Vjj's and dancers had so much energy there.

Oh yeah and do I even need to talk about Shady. He should record Helsinki Get Kinky as a bonus track.

After party sucked (especially music they played... it was just a normal night at the club, nothing else) but I really didn't care at that point... didn't even care I had to fight hard for my spot in GA (I could deal with a little pain in my left calf the next morning too) here and there during the show. All of my fandom friends bought their tickets to seats but it was so clear to me I couldn't just sit and stare far away from the stage. And I didn't have to regret it, seeing everything in front my little eyes was so worth of it. It truly was an honor to have him perform in Helsinki again. I love him so much and am so proud of him.

Oh yeah, and I also took the best pics in my life, on top of everything. Some of them seem to have made their way to this thread already but all of them are here: http://s56.photobucket.com/user/sflashing/...20Areena?page=1
